Public health care meeting scheduled for Thursday

There will be a public meeting tomorrow in Apalachicola to discuss Franklin County’s health care system.

The meeting is part of a community health needs assessment the county is undertaking with the National Association of counties to see how resident’s views of Franklin County’s health care system have changed over the past few years.

The assessment will look at what types of medical services are needed in Franklin County as well as the economic impact of the local health care sector and look at ways the health care system can better meet community needs.

A similar meeting was held November 3rd in Carrabelle.

County officials said the first meeting was well attended by community leaders.

The county has collected over 100 surveys so far.

The next and final community meeting on the health survey will be held on Thursday afternoon from 11:30 to 1:30 at the Armory in Apalachicola.
